Grand Guild Tourney Starts Today

[NOTE: The beginning of the event might be delayed by just a bit, but it shouldn't be too significant!]
Edit: The event should now be live

The Guild Grand Tourney begins today! Here are a few reminders about how the event works:

The leaderboards are completely based on PvP Trophies. Any trophies your earn are counted towards your Guild's total, and any trophies lost are deducted, until your personal contribution reaches zero. At no point can your personal contribution become negative.

There are special passive effects running during the event to shake up the metagame! These buffs last for the entire event.

There are quests that pay out event tickets. Event tickets are NOT related to Trophies/leaderboard progress in any way.

The event will end at 11pm CST Sunday night, so guilds have the time to shuffle their members around for the new week.

PVP Streaks are deactivated throughout the event, and therefore, this week's season.

Ok I’m sorry bossfight, but already I hate this event, and I like PvP.
•The buffs are basically nothing. The only thing that changes is that you’ve taken away kai as an assassin counter, which is not helpful at all.
•Nothing In the shop is interesting. Another buff stealing rune? Whatever. It’s overpriced, considering it’s not very good.
•The event rewards are honestly the worst you’ve ever had. The rune sucks in the first place, as you usually give us a rune that at least has full DR, not just against barbs, which have already been well countered by now. Deadeye tokens aren’t great. You know no one uses deadeye. And perhaps the worst part, the tiers are horrible. 11-25 guilds don’t even get a five star superior?!? Are you guys joking? Everything wrong about your previous events is manifested in this event and more.

Look, I don’t want to sound unappreciative of all your work, but it’s like you guys forget everything the community tells you every time you make a new event. Overall this event is another “too much effort, not enough reward”. Please turn the sinking ship that is grand guild tourneys around.

This is indeed a bug, Honorbound and Assassins are indeed families. I'm having this looked at, but we won't be able to change the quests for this event. Fortunately, I can confirm that the quest does work for other families.

@Joel will there be gem trophy boosts in the shop at all during this event?

Agreed, it’s pretty **** for free to plays.

It’s also ridiculous that you can only buy the boosts if you also pay extra for hopper and lily tokens that you don’t need. Not sure why so many people pay them off on this kind of thing, especially for an absolute trash reward that will go on some bench hero and never get used.

We've heard the feedback and will be changing the leaderboard rune to one that we are optimistic players will be more enthusiastic about. We've also fixed the Family Dominance quest and removed the rogue passive mention from the event banner. The patch with both of these changes will be up within the next hour or two.

In addition, we will be sending out free raid tickets to the players who bought the trophy boost yesterday. We will also be activating a free 1-hour trophy boost event banner today that you can claim any time before 12am CST tonight for all players.

Why is it every Tourney there are glitches with families and classes?
Caster, Flying, Healer, Legendary, Magical, Rogue, Tank, and Warrior are all supposed to be classes, yet a guild member just used Torchy, Agnon, Solaris, and Ferno for the class quest and it did not register?

[*] The event will end at 11pm CST Sunday night, so guilds have the time to shuffle their members around for the new week.

Looks like this part is not right. Especially given we got a set of day 4 quests. Usually when the last day ends early the quests for the last day start with the quests for the day before. The timer says the event doesn't end till tomorrow at 3PM CST.

I can no longer decide from day to day what to think of this game.... and that is frustrating
